food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB friends! We’re back at another Disney World resort!
Outdoor Christmas Decorations
We took a walk around Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to see what’s new! So here are the latest updates!
We’ve been very busy eating all the holiday snacks and drinking all the holiday drinks all over Disney World!
Red Velvet Wreath Cupcake
But some of our favorite treats have involved peppermint, because peppermint is the flavor of the holidays! So we’ve been eating peppermint churros and chocolate peppermint bark, while drinking peppermint chocolate beer and a peppermint kiss drink.
Happy pre-Holidays, everybody! July 25th was officially named “Christmas in July” by Disney, and we totally used it as an excuse to watch some of our favorite Christmas movies early.
Gingerbread House
Although Halloween is just around the corner, one of the Disney Resorts is making things merry and bright with some desserts that will make you gingerbread and peppermint fans very happy!
If you’re planning to celebrate the holiday season at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom this year, we’ve got everything you need to make the most of this jolly holiday party!

Disney World’s BoardWalk Bakery always delights and surprises guests for the holidays with new treats and fun sweets. We couldn’t wait to see what they’d come up with this season!
Come On In!
Aaah… BoardWalk Bakery! 2013 was a big year for this beloved snack stop! In April, it reopened after a lengthy refurbishment, offering much more space to hold all those tasty treats!
Home to the classic Cheesecake Brownie and the new Peanut Butter, Banana, and Candied Bacon Pie, it’s now also home to one of the first standout specialty cupcakes of the holiday season: The Peppermint Cupcake!
Peppermint Cupcakes at Boardwalk Bakery
It was easy to spot this standout in the bakery case, finding its place next to a couple of the Bakery’s tried-and-trues: Oreo Bon Bon and Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes.
Ore Bon Bon and Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
It’s hard to say which was more intriguing at first glance… the crème de menthe candy pieces popping out from the top, or the fact that this cupcake totally sparkles!
